Jean Monnet Network։ “Development of European Studies in the Caucasus” (DESCnet).

In September 2015, the Centre for European Studies of Yerevan State University joined the Jean Monnet Network within the framework of the project “Development of European Studies in the Caucasus” (DESCnet).

The objective of DESCnet is to enhance the level of European Studies in the Caucasus. The network consists of nine partner universities from Europe and the Caucasus region. It introduces an innovative approach to promoting the concept of European Studies in the Caucasus. The core components of the project are focused on the establishment and operation of the Association for European Studies in the Caucasus (AESC).

The main activities of the DESCnet project are divided into three areas:

Teaching (seasonal schools for undergraduate and Master’s students)
Research promotion (research seminars for early-career researchers)
Public engagement (annual AESC conference)

The project is coordinated by the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies, University of Tartu.
